Gambling addiction causes loss

[madnessteat]

I am sure that if an addicted gambler has a desire to get rid of gambling forever, he can achieve this almost without any help from friends or relatives. For this purpose it is necessary to go to a remote monastery, ask to live there for some time offering in return to do all the work that they have. I have heard that many people who change their lives in this way cease to be addicted. And not only from gambling, but also from alcoholism and drug addiction. So everyone has a chance, but for some reason few people decide to do it.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.

On a higher notes gambling addiction ends up in Great loss,imagine getting such huge loss and chasing after it afterwards and what did he get? Being addicted cause he's after his loss 64k and there's no way he can recover it,tho sometimes he might have small wins but accumulating all at once won't amount to the one he lost to gambling.

This is why it's needful to gamble with little amount and when you loose don't chase after it,cause it's pointless.you can imagine the huge debts he's on and anyone driving in such cases will fall victims as well.
He lost his money,he chased over the loss and can't recover it,and he's lending and loaning to keep up to the task and this is what is called high percentage of gambling addiction.

An addicted gambler will be easy to stop gambling activities unless he is determined to find a solution to stop gambling addiction, we may suggest the person to follow some factors to get out of gambling addiction and he can consult a rehabilitation therapy to keep his mind away from gambling addiction, they should set a budget and time limit to overcome the addiction and they should be more active outside with friends and family, they should keep themselves busy with other activities and it is better for them to find a job opportunity to cover the losses from gambling, they should appreciate the finances/income that are hard to get from their hard work.

Firstly stopping has to begin from the mind, it's usually those who have fatally be harmed by gambling that usually gets to determine they want to stop, for those who probably are yet to get their own share of the fatality, they may want to proceed till they witnesses theirs and that is why it's very important the gambler is determined to stop them every other thing may be secondary, addiction in any form is not an easy thing to quit but determination helps anlong way to get the gamblers or addicted person in whatever habit getting to quit. There are several ways to quit it one of which getting a job to distract the addicted could be one most effective.

The method by which a bad habit is replaced by some hobby is very cool. Smokers know about this, who replace smoking with chewing gum or sunflower seeds. And in gambling, it seems to me that it is better to switch to extreme sports or computer games. At the same time, so that the gambler has friends nearby.
My logic is that a person gets adrenaline from gambling, because money is not the main thing for a gambler, and you just need to replace one source of adrenaline with another.

Most likely, when you are in the situation where you got out of control there's no fun anymore and you'll keep chasing for the money, there's nothing important but either to win more or to recover whatever you loss, it's something about your own decision making that you need to work and control.

I have been there before so I know the feels of out of control. That makes me desperate and still want to try to recover my losses money. But luckily, my friends comes to me and saves me by dragging me away from my laptop and put me into his car to go to a place. I am glad that they come in the right time to save me so I can hold my minds from wanting of keep playing gambling. I almost become addiction in gambling and that makes me lose much money but I can get out from the addiction because of my friends and family. So yes, gambling addiction can cause you lose much money without you realize and you don't know how that can happen to you. That is why you must always stay aware when playing gambling and not let excitement tempts you to keep playing gambling. You will only regret when you see your losses without have a big chance to recover your losses.

Something that you won't want to happen as addiction really frustrates you and will keep push to play for more, there are gamblers who loves playing for fun and keep doing the right thing of limiting their participation but most of the time when that enjoyment already exceed there are always a big chance that they'll become addicted.

Glad to have someone to guide you up and lead you to right path to avoid that addiction, just play and have some fun with money that you allocates and a set target to let go.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making yourself trying to chase up for making money, on the moment that you do find yourself having such issues.
You would really be that having those kind of potential problems on the time or moment that you do find yourself having those kind of addiction on which we know that getting out with this
is something that will really be that a huge problem later on. Not everyone would really be that good when it comes to self control within this aspect.
Gambling should really be for entertainment and losing is never been fun but one you do accept your fate on playing gambling specially on losing condition then
this would really be the key so that you wont be getting addicted.

If you are a gambling addict but you know your family is rich then quitting gambling is not easy and that is my friend's situation. Without the help of his family, I don't think he could have quit on his own because he had failed so many times before.

And as I said, you only decide to give up gambling without any help when you have lost everything because of gambling and clearly see the harm it causes you. You don't even have to isolate yourself from people and you can easily quit successfully in just a short time. But if we wait until we lose everything and have nothing left, it will be too late. So I still like the idea that we should let our families know about our gambling and they will intervene immediately if they see signs of addiction. Addicts will never admit they are addicted, only outsiders can see the problem more clearly.

Many bad things will happen if someone get addicted to gambling because he will not thinks about how to manage his financial and only thinks about how he can return to playing gambling. He will search for the money return to casino and play his favorite gambling games although he doesn't have a big chance to win. He doesn't realizes about  his losses because he just want to return to the casino and playing gambling.

We should thanks to those wo want to guide us and lead to the right path so we can prevent from gambling and avoid that addiction. That is what I feel after I get out from the gambling addiction because people still care to me and want to help me. That is my lesson not to the same thing and always take care of myself when I am playing gambling.

I agree. Your loved ones will see through it anyway, just more time is needed for it. And afterward, if you all love each other, the family tries to help each other, each in their own way. You will not be alone.

Though it's a choice  but better than nothing at all, I mean if you don't have any relatives or friends who are willing to help you'll going to find yourself hooking up and getting deeply addicted,  even the intention is just to have some fun, without proper control addiction can always dominates you, good thing that there are people who concern about you and they manage to convince you, most of the time,  gamblers who keep denying help are those who are already addicted who just can't accept the reality of being deeply involved to gambling.

With having a good people around us, that will help us to solves any problem that we have and we can also helps them when they have a problem. They will reminds us when they see we are playing gambling a little bit excessively in the right time so we don't have to faces a problem in gambling because we can remember when we must stop playing gambling. We may see some people gets addicted to gambling and makes their life ruins and lose everything they have so that should make us be careful when playing gambling because we don't want to have the same thing like them. That is why we must have a good self control and always protect ourselves from the temptation that we see in gambling. We know that playing gambling is just a fun activity and to relax ourselves but that doesn't mean we should use gambling too often.

it will happen because he feels he still has a lot of money because his family is in a wealthy state, of course this can't make it easy for them to stop, but if the gambler has a good mindset, on the contrary, where they will gamble reasonably without gambling excessively when they find that the gambling they do ends in defeat, it's just that there are rarely gamblers who have a good mindset by being able to control themselves wisely.
you are right, when we are addicted to gambling, it has become a serious problem that can make us addicted to gambling. to recover from gambling addiction is not easy, even if you get support or advice from others, it will not make the recovery process easier, maybe the point is in yourself where there must be awareness from yourself, then recovering from addiction can happen with the intention to be better in the future.

Every day there are many gamblers in the world who end up committing suicide by losing huge amounts of money in gambling. Think about how much depression they get when they go to the extremes of gambling. Basically this kind of mistake happens in the beginning of gambling like in the first stage the gambler gambles and he loses some money in the beginning or gains some money in the beginning so if he wins then his confidence increases and if he loses he wants to recover the lost money. That is, because of these two reasons, he is more interested in gambling, which shows that he is overexcited or in an extra hurry to recover his losses, and that he spends more money in gambling, which shows that he is making a mistake in his decision. And he is losing more money the second time around. 

If the gambler continues to gamble without taking a break during these periods, eventually his financial condition becomes very bad and he becomes heavily in debt due to which many gamblers decide to commit suicide. We will gamble it is ok but within limits of course.

True family stays by your side no matter how hard things get. It's a rule of life. And, you are totally correct - self-control is essential not to lose yourself.

Yes, that's right, when we are in an environment that can remind us when we make a mistake, then it can be a brake for us to get back on the right track. However, it can only be felt by people who are open to their habits. because there are also people who are closed to their activities, including gambling. Usually they look normal when they are in a crowd and they will start gambling when they are alone, and that's what I think is dangerous. Because closed people like that will not be able to remind them, let alone remind them, we don't even know about their activities at all. And people like this will usually be found out if they are really bankrupt. So even though we are closed, it would be better if we tell people we trust. At least it can help us when not many other people know about the problems we are facing.

If a person realizes that his addiction is causing him problems, he is able to overcome it without any help. Your friend used other people's money for gambling, so losses did not bring him problems, and if they did, they were insignificant for him. If he earned the money for which he gambled hard work, he would have realized that the losses bring him problems. Then he would have been motivated to get rid of his gambling addiction. It's very hard to fight something that doesn't cause you tangible problems.

Do addicted to gambling people really realize they are addicted? Or are they brave enough to ask for a help? I think not. Also the society has a specific approach to gamblers. A think a lot of people will refuse to help addicted to gambling person because they will be afraid that this person will either drag them into gambling, nor will start asking for money. Overall people see addicted gamblers as plague  and prefer to pass by or act like they did not exist.

Everyone understands everything perfectly well, but they are afraid to admit defeat and appear weak in front of other people, and some even in front of themselves. In my opinion, they hope to the last that one day they will be able to win back all past losses and stop gambling. Perhaps some of them even succeed. But I do not think that there are a lot of such people. Most get stuck in it for many years.

To fight gambling addiction first you need to accept your defeat, come to terms with it and begin to fight your desire to get rich gambling or return lost money.

There will be some gamblers that will realize that they're addicted into gambling. The problem though is that, they will only realize it when everything's gone for him. Money, properties, family members, everything. Of course, that isn't the case for some because there are some who can feel if they're addicted into it or not. In my case, I felt that I'm getting addicted into gambling already when I felt that I need to recover those losses. It's a good thing that I didn't do it or else, it might ruin my life FOREVER.

Are they brave enough to ask for help? This depends because there are some gamblers who some of their family members know that he's gambling hence, they can just go to them and help them. Not all have somebody to ask for help and there are some who are unfortunately not asking for help until it succumb them gradually. You think that lot of people will refuse addicted gamblers? I don't think so, and I don't think that they're stupid enough to get dragged into gambling by somebody who's having a hard life already.

Gamblers seen as plague? Don't generalize because I don't think that this is the case for most of them. For me, as long as they aren't affecting other people then it's all good for them and they can gamble anytime they want.

You are right and that makes them still playing gambling even if they realizes that can makes them lose much money. That just make them becomes addicted to gambling and that will happen without they realizes because their focus will only make money which can not happen easily.
They need to aware with their losses so they will reduce their gambling activity so prevent more losses. If they know what to do to reduce their losses, they will not playing gambling excessively because they realizes the effect of getting more losses.
Many things to fight gambling addiction and although that is not easy, you must do that and asks for help from people around you so they can give their hand to help you. That will needs a strong will to say that you can do to cure your gambling addiction and will get the second chance to have a better life.

They already realize the total loss from gambling, the OP statement above that they have lost 64 thousand dollars, they also know that they are trapped in a circle of gambling addiction but they cannot free themselves from the addiction because they are determined to recover their losses from gambling, they do not care about other people's advice that provides a way out to avoid gambling addiction. However, they must realize that they have made a big mistake because they lost control of their emotions which resulted in greed for profit or they will try to find opportunities to recover their losses.

I agree with your opinion, he does not have a strong will to recover from gambling addiction and we cannot force anyone without the will in him to follow the advice we suggest, but I am sure he will realize all his mistakes because he did not follow our advice from the beginning so as not to suffer high losses.
